provided below together with the resposes received.
1.Is
it required by Law or stated in the NHBR-or-SABS regulations that a conductor for a thatched roof
residence has to be inspected
annually?

1.It is recommended by the
SABS to have lightning conductors checked
annually.

2.If
not required by Law, the NHBR or SABS, is it required by the Short Term Insurance?

your insurer as to how often the lightning conductor needs to be checked, they should however
take heed of the SANS 10313 Code of Practice for the Protection of Structures Against
Lightning.

3.Which
components do you inspect/service on the Lightning Conductor?

1.The ohmic resistance is
measured and should be under 50 Ohm in order to be SABS compliant. A physical examination of the
lightning conductor is also carried out including angle of protection and safe distance from
thatch overhang.

4.Does
this inspections/services only have to be performed on Lightning Conductors that is
situated on the mountain?

1.All lightning conductors,
regardless of where they are situated, should be tested.

5.Do
you issue a COC after inspection that can be produced to the Board of directors?

1.Yes, a COC is issued if all
is in order and the system is SABS compliant.

6.Is
all the information and regulations as well as inspection intervals listed on your
web-site?

1.The information pertaining
to SABS regulations are downloadable off the SABS website at a fee (not sure how much but know
that its not cheap).

7.Do
